Dietrich Buxtehude's organ works are today in the standard repertoire for organists all over the world, but this is the first time an organist has engaged so intimately with Buxtehude by using the very instrument on which the works were composed. Dacapo Records' new Buxtehude series will consist of a total of six CDs, and besides the St. Mary's Church in Elsinore they will be recorded in the other two churches where the composer was employed, the S:ta Maria Church in Helsingborg and the Marienkirche in Lübeck.

Nombreux sont les arguments pour désigner la "Messe Cunctipotens genitor Deus" de Nicolas de Grigny comme l'absolu chef d'oeuvre de l'orgue classique français : luxuriance du contrepoint à cinq voix, architecture inébranlable et néanmoins souple, rythmes élancés, saveur des ornements, poésie du sentiment… A l'instar des cinq Hymnes qui en forment l'autre versant, cet unique et sublime Livre publié en 1699 (recopié et étudié par J.S. Bach lui même) porte à un parfait degré d'achèvement l'union de la ferveur et de l'apparat typique du Grand Siècle
